Exclude sysop from counting page views
by Jack Eapen C 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, I'm the sysop user for a small intranet wiki. i often visit many pages many times for testing and that adds to the no. of page views. How can I tell MW not to count me for calculating page views-either based on my IP or my username?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] [swikig] Small paying project: new semantic extension to MediaWiki
by Kelly Jones 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I've found someone on guru.com who says they will do this for US $600, which exceeds my budget. Anyone interested in contributing? I realize there are many logistical/trust/etc issues here (especially if the guy can't deliver), so just sending out a feeler for now. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.

How to article titles sorted by numeric value, not text value?
by Monahon, Peter B. 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi MediaWiki folk, Could anyone kindly direct me to a solution to empower MediaWiki (code / variables / MySQL?) to show articles titles in lists sorted by numeric value, not text value, so that [[700]] comes before [[1800]], and so that [[1801.1]] comes AFTER [[1801]]? Right now, after importing legacy documents, THIS is the display sort order (example): [[1800]] [[1801.1]] [[1801]] [[700]] Rather then the preferred (original example): [[700]] [[1800]] [[1801]] [[1801.1]] Is this a MySQL database quirk, or something selectable in PHP, even if requiring an enhancement? Or, has no one addressed this "sort by numeric value, not text value" challenge yet? As always, I've searched MediaWiki.org and the web to no avail. There's info about adding alphabetical sort functions within lists and tables, but nothing about sorting article name lists by numerical value instead of the default text value. Thanks!- Peter Blaise Monahon, USPTO/OTPC, 571-272-3950, MDE 4D68, WS01419 (and 571-272-3532, MDW 3B28, ETC00322)

edit MediaWiki:Sidebar
by Zhiliang Hu 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I am running mediawiki 1.6.9. When I login to edit the side bar - MediaWiki:Sidebar, the "edit" tag is not there. When I clicked "view source" tag, the following page shows: "This page has been locked to prevent editing; there are a number of reasons why this may be so, please see <http://www.animalgenome.org:2358/wiki/mediawiki/index.php?title=Infopedia:P…>Project:Protected page. " but the "<http://www.animalgenome.org:2358/wiki/mediawiki/index.php?title=Infopedia:P…>Project:Protected page" links not to a information page but an editor box. I didn't find any useful solutions from Google thus post here -- how may I edit the side bar? Thanks, Zhiliang

Considering this example at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500 ... # 1009 establishments (2 members) # 100 BC (6 members) ... ...I'd presume that no one has addressed the "sort by numeric value, not text value" challenge yet. Has anyone? Does anyone have any clue as to where this sorting alternative (numeric versus text) may be addressed? MySQL or PHP or ...? Anybody? Anybody?

update.php error when upgrading to 1.11.0 - table already exists
by Adam Nielsen 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade my wiki from MW1.8.2 to 1.11.0, but the upgrade script bombs out with an error, telling me one of the database tables already exists. Am I doing something wrong? I thought the table would've been ignored/upgraded if it already existed. $ php update.php MediaWiki 1.11.0 Updater Going to run database updates for testupgrade Depending on the size of your database this may take a while! Abort with control-c in the next five seconds...0 ...hitcounter table already exists. ...querycache table already exists. ...objectcache table already exists. ...categorylinks table already exists. ...logging table already exists. ...user_newtalk table already exists. ...transcache table already exists. ...trackbacks table already exists. Creating externallinks table...Query "CREATE TABLE `externallinks` ( el_from int(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', el_to blob NOT NULL, el_index blob NOT NULL, KEY (el_from, el_to(40)), KEY (el_to(60), el_from), KEY (el_index(60)) ) TYPE=InnoDB " failed with error code "Table 'externallinks' already exists (localhost)". Thanks, Adam.

Permissions based on sections
by GT4NE1 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

Hi all, I think I already know the answer to this, but I thought I would run it by some people with more expierience with Mediawiki than I. I want to create a wiki where I can create different sections that different groups will use and assign permissions for each of the groups. Think departments in a company and creating different department groups and not allow people outside of that department group to see that department section. >From everything I've been reading this would be sort of like page by page permissions only with sections and while there are some page by page extensions, there is a disclaimer on the ones that require a core code change that Mediawiki wasn't really designed for page by page permissions. I guess my question is am I right in my conclusions? Has anyone had any success implementing some of the page by page permissions extensions whether it be the ones requiring core code changes or not? If anyone has had experience setting up this kind of environment and can recommend an alternative CMS, I would appreciate it as well. Thank you, GT
